Your metadata is inaccurate, but yes there is an underlying problem with
SlimServer which is why it doesn't work.

But IMHO it makes far more sense to have "ZZZZZZUnknown Artist" than
the artist field blank.  Both are crappy, but at least I can jump to my
unknown artist quickly, and my WinAmp listings of all my artists tie up
exactly with ones on my web interface.

It's all down to control and consistency - this is not a critical issue
with the Server as you are relying on it to get you out of trouble
because you have not fully completed your music organisation - that
track appeared on an album somewhere, or a CD single, or a bootleg or
radioshow or something that had a title so for completeness you should
find it.

I only have a few tracks/albums that really have no titles and that's
usually stuff by Aphex Twin or whatever name you're used to calling
him.  But if you look around any music store rather than list it as
nothing they refer to it as "(Untitled)" which I do too.

Yes the Slimserver should be expected to deal with blank artists but
much better for control to set to your specifics because maybe WinAmp
shows '' as Artist, iTunes 'Unknown' and Slim 'No Artist'.
